A telegram from Carlisle, Penn
sylvania, says that "the constant
use of money at elections" in that
county has led the chairmen of the
Republican and Democratic COM
mittees to issue joint circular, in
which they mutually agree to three
things "To discountenance COR
ruption; to prosecute every case of
bribery, aud to give one hundred
dollars reward for information that
will lead to the conviction of any
person for bribery = A similar
agreement in this county. would
have a most salutary effect on elec-
tons, and go farther to purify poll
tics than anything else we know of.

nearly three times larger, and con-

selected matter, covering everything
of interest daily transporting in the

THANK GOD AND TAKE COURAGE

The Utah bill has passed the Senate,
and will, no doubt, be signed by the
President. There are many excellent
features in this bill. 1t is a step forward
from the present law 1t must have and
will have a fair trial, and should receive
the hearty support of every loyal man in
the Territory. Any man who cannot
take the oath prescribed should be con-
sidered, as he is, an alien to this country
for he is an alien who holds allegiance to
some other power rather than to the
country. Loyalty to the country and its
laws must be paramount to all others.
Once more let us rally under the old
hag-the flag OF our Union-and let us
Join hands as Americans against all who
oppose the law. AS Democrats, we stand
for justice; we welcome to us any and all
who will come with honest purpose, and
denounce every association which de-
grades the right and free will OF the indi-
vidual man. To our Republican citizens
we say, deal fairly in the selection OF can
didates for municipal and Territorial
offices where the united votes OF all will
be needed, let the candidates be equally
divided between the two parties; thus,
and thus only, can we expect unity and
success. We would go still further; we
would urge the young men of Utah to
come to their own rescue, and stand
bravely Up with the Liberals and take
their share OF the offices of the Terri
tory. The Americans whom you call
Gentiles are not your enemies they are
your friends, and the defenders o
your dearest rights, as time will prove tC
you.
We defer fuller comment upon the
features OF the bill to another day; and
yet we cannot forego expressing our JOY
that the new bill gives wives the right OF
dover, and makes the first wfe's chill
dren the only heirs with the lawful wife
that it makes all marriages open mar
rages; marriages OF record, daylight
sunlight marriages; that it defines ant
Furnishes adultery, and that it prevents
any mock ceremony from being used a'
cloak for adultery; that it places all thu
courts, both Common Pleas and Probate
in the hands OF United States Judges, anC
that it puts the supervision OF publ,
schools into the hands of a common
school commissioner, who will be vir
tually an officer OF the Government, anC
whose recommendations in the futur
will bring the public instruction in Jtal
into harmony with the school systems Q
the States, and the age in which we live
We regard this bill by all odds the bes
bill ever passed for Utah, though it fall
short in some respects OF what many {
our friends wanted.

A HUMILIATING POSITION
Bradstreet,s OF the 18th inst. SAYS

BradStreet'S OF the 18th inst. says
"The London silver market this week,
in contrast with its condition for some
little time past, has shown considerable
unsteadiness, there being fall OF 58d. in
the price OF bars from quotations OF last
week. The decline seems to have been
Immediately due to one OF those con-
stantly recurring arrangements in India
exchange, the bills awarded on Wednes-
day last by the Council being reported at
figures showing a decline OF Sled. per
rupee from those OF the preceding week.
At the same time there seems to be rea-
son to believe that the remote cause OF
the disturbance is connected with the war
scare and general feeling of apprehension
as affecting India exchange.
Is it not humilating sight to see Uncle
Sam, with more silver mines opened
and unopened than he can develop in Il
thousand years, stand listening at key
hole in London to find out what he can
afford to pay for silver? Dependent, too,
upon supercilious and sworn enemies OF
the white metal which we make part
of our currency and of which we produce
more than all the world beside. With
silver dollars and their representative
certificates gladly taken at par value by
our people, how easy for the Government
to fix its own price, say at present $1.lO
per ounce for American silver only. Levy
prohibitory tariff upon foreign silver
bars and coin and let John Bull with his
India Council go to the devil, if he
pleases. If he prefers to go in that direc-
tion, mounted on single-standard gold
hobby, who cares to say him nay? But
to allow him to dictate our policy and
depreciate our currency, is the height
OF folly. Ii at Johns bidding we allow
ourselves to be tied to Il single metallic
standard, let us follow his example in
the matter vi choice and select silver 1t
is the favorite money metal OF a majority
OF the race. From the earliest period Of
recorded time it has held supremacy
over gold. Its production is more re-
liable and equable than gold. As We
hold the inexhaustible silver treasure
house OF the world, it is our right and
duty TO magnify its value and fix its price.
Let us make it the standard or unit OF
value, and let Rome, John and the gold
bugs howl. The silver issue should
occupy the foremost place in the coming
Presidential contest.

JOURNALISTIC TEACHERS.
Rev. James Freeman Clarke, the We
eran Unitarian preacher, says:

Rev. James Freeman Clarke, the vet
eran Unitarian preacher, says:
people ask me: How can you think
OF new things to say after all these
years? p l answer, first, that / do not
care to be always saying new things. !
often say what | have said before. The
truth, il it be. the truth, needs to be said
a good many times, And then, again,
no one can tell what treasures OF thought
are stored away in the soul, unless he has
constant occasion to draw upon them.
When began to preach found it very
hard to think OF anything to say. Now
find it hard to say all | think"
Veteran editors, it is presumed appre-
ciate the above question and answer, to
larger extent than ministers. The
editor of an influential daily journal deals
with a greater variety OF subjects, sub
mits to a greater strain on his mental
resources, cannot repeat himself as
the minister can, is more severely critl-
cised, and is in every way more ex-
haustively taxed. The editor may not
influence moral character equally with
the minister. II, however, he honors his
vocation, he forms individual opinions
and guides the aggregate public senti'
ment in ways and to an extent that the
dear people would hesitate to admit To
be successful journalist in the opinion
OF superficial but blatant judges, is to
follow, rather than to create and direct
public opinion. To obtain and scatter
the news expeditiously, is the first duty
OF live journal. Beyond this, if it is the
organ of party or sect, it must carefully
adapt itself to the principles and policy o.
the party it represents. If it is the orgar
of an honorable party in pursuit of hon
est ends, the editor will aim to instruc
as well as to influence men.
Barring some long cherished revengeS
and clannsh flourishes OF unburieC
tom ahawks, the columns of the compact
racy and meaty New York san combine
freshness and variety OF news, good com
mon sense and high order OF reasoning
with brevity and attractive style in tn,
rendering Dana does more than to fol
low or even to keep abreast OF the crys
tallzed sentiment OF the times he lead
and controls. He lashes the fractions
encourages the faltering, represses tn
cranks and leads the column. He forge
thunderbolts and gives them momentum
through the colums OF his paper-i
short, he gives tone and consistency t
his party. One of the mightiest instru
mentalities for good in this materialisti
life OF ours, is II clear, minded
truth-loving and Independent journal
and the editor whose hand and bra
give voice and direction to such
journal is a teacher of men and a benC
factor of his race.

STEPS IN ADVANCE.


The sunrise organ OF the Church, is like
the fellow, who up to his neck in the ris-
ing waters OF the flood, finding that his
piteous appeal to Noah was unheeded,
called out as the ark hoated by, Ego to
grass with your old ark, there is not GO
ing to be much OF a shower" But
a day or two since the bill as reported by
the Conference Committee was "a sCoun-
drelly bill''-to-day the drowning editor,
catching at a straw, declares that Given
ii the bill shall become law, it will work
few, ii any, changes in Utah. The
people will still hold their own,
and retain control OF their treasures. -
The failure to report the bill as it passed
the House was more than blunder.
The appointive power, so necessary in
the first instance to bridge over the trans
fer OF authority from disloyal to loyal
hands, should have been retained. The
emphatic protest OF THE DEMoCRaT
against the emasculation OF the bill,
engineered it is believed by parties here,
is reiterated with renewed emphasis.
But let us appreciate such steps in ad-
vance as the present bill, soon to become
a law, places within the reach OF the
loyal people OF Utah.
First and foremost it does away with
female suffrage in this Territory. With
strange inconsistency, the Mormon
hnu hnf ncalxr tlNn
willing instruments OF the priesthood in
their avowed purpose to make polygamy
the cornerstone OF their heathenish
church. These right-hand supporters OF
the hierarchy are left out in the cold.
The Probate Judges, hitherto consti-
tuting the official stronghold of the church
and the authors OF bogus divorces, are to
be displaced by appointees of the Presi-
dent. First wives are given the right Of
dover. The public record OF marriages
backed up with severe penalties for non
obedience will bother the pluralists more
than they now pretend to believe.
The Superintendent OF Education is
appointed by the Supreme Court and is
authorized to exclude all sectarian books
from the public schools.
United States Commissioners and Mar
shals have enlarged jurisdiction as police
and executive officers.
Legitimate children are excluded from
inheritance Of parents estate.
The Attorney General is enjoined to
take measures to disincorporate the po-
litical church of l.. d. S. and to dispose
OF its assets, pay its debts and apply the
surplus, il any, to educational purposes.
He is also required to perform the same

sword OF the test oath cutting right
and left at the aiders, abettors
and avowed believers in polygamy
and all who directly or indirectly
sustain the polygamous church in Utah,
will exclude all and singular the mem
bers Of that church in good and regular
standing, from the ballot box. None OF
this class but those who are willing to
perjure themselves can take the oath.
That the priesthood rely upon perjured
persons to enable the church to hold on
to such remnants of their political power
as they hope to save from the wreck, is
evident. Time will determine final re-
suits Revolutions never go backward.

WEIRD TIMEPIECES.

When the Emperor Charles ", of
Spain, retired to the Monastery of
st. Youte, he took with him Tor
riano, his clockmaker, in order to
while away the time by constructing
the movements of clocks. So won
derful were some Of the pieces of
work which they made that the
monks would not believe any one
except the devil had a hand in them
until the machinery was shown to
them by the ex.Emperor. It was
ordered by Charles that when he
should die all these clocks should
cease running--and it is said to be
fact that his orders were obeyed.
Another king of Spain came to
Geneva to see clock which had
been made by Droz, q merchant of
that city. Upon the clock were
seated shepherd, a negro and a
dog. AS the hour was struck, the
shepherd played upon his finite and
the dog played gently at his feet /;
but when the King reached forth to
touch an apple that hung from a
tree under which the shepherd rest
ed, the dog few at HIM and barked
so furiously that a live dog answer
ed him, and the whole party left in
haste. Venturing to return, one of
the courtiers asked the negro in
Spanish what time it was. There
was no reply. but when the question
was repeated in French, an answer
was given. This frightened the
courtier, who rejoined his compan.I
ions, and all of them voted that the
clock was the work of the evil one.
Upon the belfry of the Kauthaus,
in Coblentz, there is the head of a
giant, bearded and helmeted with
brass. The giants head is known
as I" the man in the custom-house,n
and whenever countryman meets
a citizen of Coblentz away from that
place, instead Of saying, Chow are
all our friends in Coblentz Z" = he
asks, How is the man in the Gus
tom-house? :" AT every stroke of the
bell which sounds the hours upon
the clock, the mouth ofathe giant
opens and shuts with great force, as
if il were trying to say, in the words
of Longfellow, "Time was, time is,
time is past."-Fr0m the Popular

CAMPAIGN ASSASSINATION.

All the published accounts agree

at Jackson, Miss, was cold blood

If the liquor men are determined
to force prohibition as a national

encourage these whisky murders.
We are we'll aware that there are

would lend hand to bring to JUS

bloody deeds, but this would have
